I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

Disturbed by the impurity
It's the scar of this masquerade
There'll be no more insecurities
Once you pass through this doorway
But you knew more
Your soul's paid for
This endless fight
Rewarded by delight
You were incarcerated
Within these walls blockaded
Stuck on this meteorite
Caught in this wicked wild fight
The fumes intoxicating
The smell of sin unfading
A soul restricted by this
Impure enclosure of flesh and bone
But you knew more
Your soul's paid for
This endless fight
Rewarded by delight
Out of darkness through this night
Bathe in the oncoming light, you will
Hear no evil, fear no more
Rejoice you are home
Don't wait at the water's edge
It's time to step into the unknown blue
As time moves along
We forgot that we belong to something bigger
To know what is and what will be
To see with more than sensory
The song you'll sing is certainty
This journey begins
Move into the mist
This beautiful abyss it liberates you
Now a part of the ethereal, the celestial array
Born again in beauty impeccable
These wonders will never fade
Transcend

No more identity
No more desire
Now weak from dormancy
This heart's lost its fire
So my incentive died
So I'm demoralised
Asleep behind waking eyes
Fading into comatose
Falling through the astral plane
Lost in purgatory
Flailing wings of disdain
Condemn me so I cannot fly
Falling through the astral plane
Never hear a scream
There's no waking time in this astral plane
I can't, hear you
I can't, see you
I can't, feel you
I can't, break through
I don't, know how
I might, fall down
I sense, rain clouds
So I won't try
No expectations
No way to defeat
Past procrastination
Now please conquer me
It's barely survival
This futility
Leave me in the gutter
Beyond the will to compete
This lethargy is calling you to come in from the light
Never thought to disappoint it
Pay the price for worshipping these walls that shield you from outside
Agoraphobia anointed
Blame my lamenting mind
Blame my folly insides
This body now atrophied
In everlasting comatose
